August Lešnik (Croatian pronunciation: [ǎuɡust lêʃnik]; 16 July 1914 – 24 February 1992) was a Croatian footballer. Lešnik played most of his club football for Građanski Zagreb. In 1941 he was the Croatian First League's top scorer while playing for Građanski, and performed the same feat twice in the Yugoslavian First League as well: in 1938 and 1939. He played for the Yugoslavia football team in the late 1930s and the Croatia national team from 1940 to 1944.
